You isolate cells from a tumor and study them. You observe that the cells continue dividing, even when DNA is damaged, when the

cells become crowded, or even when nutrients run low. These observations lead you to suspect that the cells _____.

Answer:

contain a mutated tumor-suppressor gene.

Explanation:

  • A tumor suppressor gene performs the function of regulating the proper division of the cells as well as regulating replication.

The tumor suppressor genes perform the following functions :

  1. Maintain the stability of the genome.
  2. Regulate cell growth.
  3. Regulates cell proliferation rate.
  • Whenever the tumor suppressor genes get mutated it would either result in a loss of its function or a reduction in its function which can lead to the abnormal growth of cells.
  • Hence, if the DNA is damaged, the cells become crowded and the nutrients run low then this indicates that the tumor suppressor genes are mutated.

The hormone , which is secreted by the pineal gland, influences the sleep–wakefulness cycles.
KonstantinChe [14]
The hormone described above is the hormone Melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, which helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. This rhythm is an internal 24 hour clock that plays a critical role when we fall asleep and when awake. When it is dark the body releases more melatonin.

What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? How do Rosa's body systems work
IgorC [24]

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Rosa eats a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to go for a run later this afternoon. Rosa is breathing normally.

Answer:

1. The food she ate is peanut butter and bread, the peanut is rich in protein while the bread is rich in carbohydrate which provides sugar (glucose) by breathing she gets oxygen in a sufficient amount to perform cellular respiration (aerobic) to carry out energy for running. Carbohydrates are a better choice of nutrients befors exercise as carbohydrates provide energy immediately.

Aerobic respiration provides a high amount of energy, 36 ATP to be specific, per cycle of cellular respiration.

2.  The carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen she gets from food and breathing react together to perform aerobic cellular respiration to carry out maximum energy. By the digestive system and organs of this system, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is diffused into the blood.

Oxygen also diffused to blood from the lungs and heart with the help of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of her body.

3. By the aerobic cellular respiration process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell helps in providing energy from glucose and oxygen by a three-step process:

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. Which ultimately provide 36 ATP molecules for the cell in a run.
